Diaphram action in stick-frame construction without roof sheathing
(OP)
Title says it all - any suggestions on getting forces from windward walls into perpendicular shear walls without roof sheathing? Building in question is quite modest - 16x24 single story.

I'm planning on putting 3' wide full height panels (1/2" osb nailed to high holy) on either side of a 10' OH door, and a panel at each corner (run with strong axis the wrong way). Then fur-out unsheathed portions for barn board.
Running the numbers I actually don't even need sheathing anywhere but in each side of the overhead door if I'm sheetrocking, but it'll allow me to procrastinate in hanging the rock without worrying about a strong breeze toppling it.
